The ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter is a constant but irrational (meaning its precise value cannot be fully written out using traditional numbers) number called Pi (π).
Pi ~= 3.1415927
Circumference = Pi (3.1415927...) * Diameter (120 inches)
~= 376.991118 inches
~= 377 inches

Construct a circle with a 4.5 radius. The circle's circumference is 360 degrees. So mark out 3 by 120 degrees on the circumference and join them to the centre of the circle which will divide the circle into three equal parts.
Circumference = pi ( 3.1416, a constant) * diameter = 3.1416 * 38.2 = 120 sq. units
360 degrees in a circle 120 degrees = 12mm 360 degrees = 36mm Therefore the circumference of the circle is 36mm.
A central angle of 120 is one third of the circle, so the arc length of 28.61 is one third of the circumference. 28.61 X 3 = 85.83
Circumference will be 120 pi inches, ie 31 feet and very nearly 5 inches
